Chapter 58: Encounter Asuka Saito, the future king of Camp Nou?

After the match against Japan, the Spanish players were given a day off.

In the past 15 years, there were many electronic products in Japan, especially those related to games, and the exchange rate of the yen was very low at this time.

Therefore, many players have taken advantage of this day of holiday to start the mode of buying, buying, buying.

Lin Quan wanted to stay quietly in the hotel and listen to the songs, but he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Morata and the others, so he had to follow them to Akihabara.

Akihabara is one of Japan's most famous electric districts, and it is dotted with a variety of well-known shops selling a wide variety of electronic products.

Morata and the others apparently did their homework in advance, and after arriving in Akihabara by car, they headed straight for their destination.

Sure enough, it's a straight man's shopping style, and if you take one more step, I'll lose!

Naturally, these guys won't bargain for what they like, so they just took out their bank cards and bought them all!

Players often play games between games to relax.

The best players need the best equipment, and that's what Morata learned after playing live in the hotel and losing to Lin Quan many times.

Looking at the valuable gaming equipment that Morata bought, Lin Quan pouted.

Dishes are dishes, and no reason can change the reality of dishes.

Besides, Morata likes to use himself in Pro Evolution Soccer, while Lin Quan often uses Messi and Ronaldo, and occasionally uses himself.

There is an obvious gap between the grades of the players on both sides, but Van Morata is not so narcissistic, and if he switches to a player of the same level as Lin Quan, he will not lose so badly.

The duo plays the latest version, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015, which was released by the game's developers in November last year.

In this Pro Evolution Soccer, Lin Quan, who has just led the team to win the World Cup, was ranked by the game developer on the same level as Messi Ronaldo, and the values of all three are 95 points.

As for Morata, Lin Quan remembers that his value seems to be only 82, which is still stained with the light of Spain's excellent record.

Otherwise, with his current strength and age, it is difficult to estimate that the value will exceed 80.

Infected by Morata and others, Lin Quan also bought things, some for his own use, and some for his younger siblings and friends to take back as gifts.

After a few people bought their things, they were ready to leave satisfied.

"Hey, there seems to be some activity over there?"

"There are a lot of people, why don't we go and see them too?"

Everyone has a curiosity to watch the excitement, even if it is a Spanish international.

A few people took a closer look and found that it was some young and beautiful girls wearing maid costumes and conducting an activity.

"What is this doing?"

"What kind of maid café or something like that?"

"The nearby coffee shop hires some beautiful young girls to dress up as maids to attract customers for them!"

"Oh, I see!"

"Eh, no, you're a Spaniard, how do you know so well?"

Everyone stared at Isco curiously, this guy, who is not obvious on weekdays, didn't expect to be an otaku.

"Ahem, I learned about it by watching Japanese anime!"

Isco blushed and explained, these days, when otaku like anime or something, it seems to be an unspeakable thing.

"Maid coffee shop? Hey, brothers, I'm suddenly a little thirsty, you must be thirsty too, let's go, buddy, please have coffee! ”

With that, he rushed to the most beautiful maid, and Morata's sudden appearance obviously startled the other party, and he quickly communicated with him in Japanese.

However, where does Morata know any Japanese, and the other party's words make him puzzled, and he can't understand what the other party is talking about.

"By the way, Isco, do you understand Japanese, I don't understand what this young lady is saying!"

Isco shook his head, Japanese?

Of course he doesn't understand, just watch a cartoon, can he still learn Japanese?

It's great to learn a few words, what just got it, Ya Yan Butterfly, Sbarassi and so on.

At this time, the other party also noticed that Morata and the others could not understand their words.

So I immediately repeated it in English.

The second language of Europeans is basically English, so they understand what the other person is saying.

The maid told them that if they wanted to come in for coffee, they should go to the queue first.

Damn, do you still have to queue up? Don't queue up? ”

Morata grumbled and immediately spoke to the other party in English.

Unexpectedly, his English level is very inferior, and his accent is also very strong, and the other party's Japanese English also has a serious accent, and the chickens and ducks on both sides speak English, although they speak English, they don't understand what the other party is saying.

Lin Quan stretched out his hand to cover his face, it was really a masterpiece......

In the end, the group made too much noise and alarmed the store manager.

The store manager recognized the visitors as Spanish internationals, so he invited them in very warmly, and asked a number of maids to entertain them.

One of them, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, caught Lin Quan's attention.

This person seems to be a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is.

The girl noticed Lin Quan's gaze, so she smiled at him.

Lin Quan still didn't recognize who the other party was, and he didn't plan to take the initiative to say hello, so he also responded with a smile and drank coffee with peace of mind.

Boss, send the most expensive coffee, anyway, Morata is a treat, don't drink it for nothing!

This coffee cost more than 5,000 euros, which is converted into 700,000 yen.

The price is really outrageous, but Morata said that it is expensive, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will come again.

However, Lin Quan felt very surprised in his heart, although the maid shop in Akihabara was very expensive, it was not so expensive.

Sure enough, the identities of these maids are not ordinary, probably some girl group or star in Japan, right?

……

Before leaving, Lin Quan and Iniesta attended an event hosted by their sponsors that evening.

At this event, Lin Quan met the girl he had seen in the maid café during the day.

At this moment, Lin Quan finally remembered who the other party was - a member of Nogizaka 48, Asuka Saito.

The reason why I don't remember it clearly is because Lin Quan's attention to the Japanese girl group was very low in his previous life.

Asuka Saito has only heard the name and seen the photos, and the impression in his mind is not as profound as that of Kanna Hashimoto, who let himself fly.

"Hello senior, I'm Asuka Saito, please advise!"

Asuka Saito also saw Lin Quan, and at the instigation of his teammates, he stepped forward to greet him with a red face.

"Well, hello, I'm Lin Quan, it's nice to meet you!"

Lin Quan glanced at the other party with interest, Saito Asuka was shy, his face was red and fluttering, and his appearance was a little cute.

Such a cute girl, I'm going to cry for a long time with a punch!

I don't know why, he remembered a stalk in the later life, and he didn't have a bad taste in his heart.

Asuka Saito is not good at words, and the two do not have much to do with each other in their professions, so they have no topic after chatting for a while.

It just so happened that the sponsor saw the two chatting, so he put the two in the C position for a group photo.

In this regard, the two could only show an embarrassed but polite smile.

After the event, the two exchanged gifts, Lin Quan gave each other a signed jersey, and Asuka Saito gave Lin Quan an album of their girl group.

……

On June 17, the entire Japanese team left Tokyo on a plane and departed for home to prepare for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers.

Speaking of which, this level of competition is a hand-held game for Spain, after all, the opponents in their group are not strong, and the only one who can pose a threat to them is probably Slovakia.

However, even Slovakia are far inferior to Spain.

There is no need for such a big battle on the Spanish side.

However, in Bosque's view, with more and more veteran players leaving, Spain's squad and tactical play need to be fine-tuned.

Especially in midfield, after Xavi and Alonso withdrew from the national team, Bosque could not find the perfect replacement for the two in Spain.

These two are not only powerful, but also have very outstanding personal characteristics.

There is no one among the younger generation in Spain who is as capable as they are.

Of course, this is not that Spanish football is declining, but that world-class midfielders like Xiaobai and Xavi are not so easy to appear.

Even looking at the entire football world, there are still only a handful of midfielders who can reach the level of Xavi and Xiaobai.

Therefore, players of this level retire from the national team, and the vacancies left by them cannot be solved by replacement.

Instead, it is necessary to adjust the team's tactical play style in a targeted manner, and transform the team's skills and tactics according to the technical characteristics of the players who come up.

To do this, he has to put the team's main players together, rotate the players he thinks can do big in each game, and see how those players interact with other players when they come on the pitch.

If it really doesn't work, then pick and choose from the original midfield back-up that has been squeezed down.

Spain have faced a serious shortage of personnel up front over the years, but have always been full of talent in midfield.

Players such as Cazorla and Juan Mata are often unable to enter the squad of the national team because of the number of players.

Especially in last year's World Cup, limited by the limitation of the 23-man squad, Cazorla regretted not being selected, for which he even cried when he was interviewed by reporters, crying was a sadness.

But it can't be helped, who calls the Spanish midfielder too many players?

"Even though we have won two straight friendlies in Asia and scored more than 20 goals, it was only a friendly and the opponents were not very strong, so don't be complacent and carry that sentiment into the next games!"

Before the start of the game, Bosque gathered the players together and lectured them.

In this training, he recruited a bit more young players into the team.

Spain's record in the past few years has been very impressive, so Bosque is worried that these young players will become infected with some bad habits, arrogance and no one's eyes.

Therefore, the necessary knocking is still indispensable.

In the next match against Belarus, he intends to continue training.

He's going to give them a chance to play and look at them one by one.

After beating them themselves, if they can realize that the glory and glory of the team have nothing to do with them, calm down and train hard, try to improve their strength, and give a satisfactory performance in the game.

Then in the future of the Spanish national team, these people will have their own place.

Euro 2016 was seen by Bosque as a warm-up for the 2018 World Cup, and only by beating the big names in Europe can he qualify for the World Cup.

European football is undergoing drastic changes, and Spain have been strong for so many years, and countries are looking at them as targets and constantly studying ways to deal with them.

And Spain itself, if these young players can't quickly integrate into the team, so that Spain's combat power will always remain at the peak.

Then in the face of stronger and stronger challengers, sooner or later they will be pulled off the horse!

This is not for reason that Bosque is worried, because football has never been an eternal king.

It's as strong as Brazil, hasn't it also experienced a long period of slump after Pele's retirement?

Fortunately, there is Lin Quan in the team, which makes Bosque worry a lot.

This guy has a lot of prestige among young players, and he's very disciplined and trains very hard.

Under the leadership of Lin Quan, these young players are meticulous and serious in training, and they dare not have any slack.

After all, players who are better than you work harder than you, how dare they relax?

……

June 22, Barcelona, Camp Nou.

After a few days of intensive training, Spain finally ushered in a main event.

The players' broadswords were already hungry and thirsty, and their opponents, the Belarusian players, felt a little trembling.

The opponent was the World Cup winner, and last week's two friendlies played an exaggerated 13-0, one of which was played by Japan.

Although in the eyes of the Spanish team, the strength of the Japanese team is just like that, nothing remarkable.

But for Belarus, they feel that they are not as good as Japan, at least they can make it to the World Cup and occasionally reach the round of 16.

And Belarus has never even made it to the World Cup, but it has never even played in the main match of the European Championship.

Even the Japanese team, which is a cut above them, was kicked so badly by Spain, so wouldn't they be slaughtered if it were them?

Belarus, who are currently fifth in the group, are still far from qualifying for the European Championship.

With their current points, there is no hope at all.

So Belarus gave up its illusions and came to the Camp Nou with the mentality of winning with less loss.

In this game, Spanish football chose Camp Nou because, on the one hand, it is because of the good qualifications of Camp Nou and it is one of the five-star stadiums.

On the other hand, it is also considered for political reasons.

After all, the Separatist forces in Catalonia are strong, and they want to use the national team's match at Camp Nou to deepen the Catalan identity with Spain as a country and curb the trend of separatism.

Although I don't know if their calculation will succeed, judging from the number of spectators who watched the game, the Catalans are still very popular.

Despite the weakness of the opponents, more than 80,000 fans came to the Camp Nou for this game.

Among them, many fans are coming for Lin Quan's name.

After Laporta was elected president of the club, the outside world was expecting him to deliver on his promise to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou.

Therefore, many Barcelona fans come with the mentality of appreciating the future king of Camp Nou in advance!
